I made this thread a while back (after the Katsidis fight), and it seems like most people picked Bradley in a competitive fight
Now all of a sudden, people r picking Marquez by easy one-sided destruction?
So, what's going on? Sure Bradley didn't exactly look AMAZING against Pac, but that's Pac... He's faster, and more powerful than Bradley...
Marquez may be more powerful, than Bradley, but he's not faster... And show me the last time he looked good fighting a bigger, faster, slicker fight?
And do people remember the flush chin-checks Bradley was taking against Manny? Who hits harder, Pacquiao or Marquez? And Bradley wasn't even running from Manny after Manny landed, he threw back... He'd throw back against Marquez and the fight would be great... Or he'd out-speed and out-slick Marquez to an easy decision
Let's not forget just about everybody in his division (140/147) would also lose to Pac, some more embarrassingly than others. And in defeat, I doubt any of them would look as good as Bradley did (he inarguably won the 12th with a sprained ankle and a broken foot)
